I am not sure whether this is the right forum but WTH.

A long shot but I have searched and searched and still can’t find this.

Maybe about 5 to 7 years ago someone asked a question , Which was your best christmas gift you have given.

I posted a link to a picture of a beautiful downs syndrome toddler with whom I had the honour of spending christmas with.

I lost her pic.

Am not tremendously computer orientated, I use very few sites and I thought the link must have been photobucket. But it seems not.

I have searched all my posts but can’t find a mention of this specific post. Can anyone advise. I really want this picture back.

The back story was that this little girl was found wandering the streets in manila and was taken to a hospital by a passing samaritan. She went through the slow laborious beaurocratic (sic) process in phils and ended up in Elsie Gaches Village for abandonded and handicapped kids.

That was where I met her and we both clicked immediately!

After that christmas I went back to Elsie Gaches with some clothes for her.

But it turns out that she wasn’t abandoned … she had just gotten lost and her moma and papa were frantically worried but eventually tracked her down and reclaimed her.

I was happy about that but also bit sad that I couldnt see her again. ( no identifying personal information given out)

The post I responded to was " what was the best christmas gift you gave"

but I searched and can’t find it. In that post I had pic of the little girl.

help please?
